The strumming is sightly weird but if you sit down and play along with the song you'll
it. The Chords written are pretty well aligned with there time (with the words) but I
still recomend playing along with the song to get it down "perfectly".
Verse 1:
Am G Bb
After all these implements and texts designed by
D Eb F
intellects we're vexed to find evidently there's
Bb
still so much that hides.
Cm G Bb
and though the saints dub us divine in ancient
F Eb F
fading lines their sentiment is just as hard to
Bb
pluck from the vine.
Chorus:
Ab F
I'll try hard not to pretend
Ab F G
allow myself no mock defence as I
step into the night.
Verse 2:
Cm G F
Since I don't have the time nor mind to figure
Eb D
out the nursery rhymes that helped us out in
Bb
making sense of our lives.
Cm G Bb
F
The cruel, uneventful state of apathy releases me
Eb F Bb
I value the but I won't cry every time one's
wiped out.
Chorus:
Ab F
I'll try hard not to give in
Ab F G
batten down to fare the wind
Am F
rid my head of this pretense
Am F G
allow myself no mock defence as I
step into the night.

Mercy' eyes are blue and

when she places them in

nothing holds a roman

candle to

the solomn warmth you feel

inside.
